WHAT'S UP YOU GUYS!!!! Hey, so some of you know who I am from TFW but for those of you who don't, my name is Chris, and I am currently residing in Romeoville, clubkid, it seems that you an I are from the same area?? Maybe?? Maybe I even know you from the other site perhaps. Anyway, if you guys need something, feel free to ask! Those of who also post on TFW can back my statements, too.

I would love to say yes, but I've only seen Banzaitron, which means prime was there. Thsi has been the Orland TRU, and the Crestwood Walmart. I actully got my prime from OmegaPrime, and he scored it at the Romeoville Walmart.

I've gone against every Kmart story ever told and have orderd Soundwave, Megatron, and Elita-1. The only reason I pulled the trigger is because of the option of same day in-store pick-up, and it's free. I won't have to go thru the hassel of being out of shipping cost if they don't come thru. So either way it goes, later today I am either going to be happy, or extremely pissed.

SSSooooooooooo...... Bad way to start off here, but does anyone want a clear headlight H Jazz?? I kind of over spent this week and I need to either unload him to someone, or return him to the store.. God I wish I didn't need to do this, but there are, unfortunately, more important things in life than TF's at the moment. I am in Romeoville, so I can go as far as Riverside and the likes.. Thanks guys.

What's wrong w/ your HA Jazz? What does "clear headlight" mean, aren't they all clear? Bummer you have to return him.

Anybody seen any more Grimlocks lately, W or NW burbs? I'm going to buy him as soon as I can find him, I'll call around w/ his item number if I have to. Thanks.

there's nothing wrong with my HA Jazz, I just over spent this week is all, and I need the money more than I need the toy right now..... I know I'll have him again next week, but what I need to pay just can't wait that long. As for "clear headlights, there are variations of the headlights, some some frosted and some clear. Are you interested in buying? Also, I didn't know you were from Illinois.

I got my Masterpiece Grimlock from toysrus.com today. Looks fantastic. Can't wait to finally finish up the galleries for Grimlock at long last. He's long overdue.

So I guess TFA Rodimus and Ironhide have started showing up in stores. Anyone have any luck finding them yet?

I went to Schaumburg to see if they still had any a half hour after someone on TFW posted seeing four of each there. None left! There was one of each on hold up front, and someone was trying to convince the guy working there to give them up. The guy wouldn't budge though. These suckers are going fast!

2 MP Grimlock's are at Crystal Lake TRU. Nothing at Algonquin TRU.

They did the reset at Algonquin Walmart. There is one Banzaitron, and one each of the exclusive two packs.

Stopped in Wal-Mart in Orland Hills last night (didn't make it to TRU before it closed for the day), walked in the action figure aisle and was disappointed when I saw there were no TF's whatsoever! Looked in the next aisle and there they were next to the Toy Story 3 stuff and Hot Wheels. They didn't have too much other than a handful of tuner mudflaps, HFTD's Legends and a couple left over Wave 1 HTFD Deluxe Class figures...and one single Banzaitron. I thought about buying it but decided to hold off.

As I begin to walk out I notice a couple carts filled with stuff for restock, and lo and behold...Battle Blades Optimus!!!

Got MP Grimlock at Orland Park Toys R Us.

Last one there and someone had hidden it behind some PCC's, but I dug it out. Someone will be po'ed lol

Tried finding the Joilet Toys R Us, but I missed it somewhere and the job hunting took priority.


Might have a lead on a few more but awaiting confirmation.
Watching since episode 1 aired in 84
Reading since #4 released in 84

I noticed the same thing at TRU yesterday. You never would have known Grimlock had been there because they'd filled the empty space and taken the sticker off. Go figure.
